New Flashlight Clip - Opinions Please

Hi Everyone,

Reading through a lot of feedback on clips, its seems that CPF'ers want clips that are adjustable, will not come off easily.

I was thinking about something like this:

Its a standard adjustable clamp concept, simply turn the screw to loosen or tighten.

Its ugly right now as its just a concept photo, but if it looked decent, would you want to use one? maybe even buy one?

Thanks,

I'm not a clip fan, but it definitely would be more secure than many clips out there and would probably leave less scratch marks from installing/removing. Add some low profile rubber padding to the interior of the clamp and I might just get one just because.

Why not even make one with a nice secure rotating vise instead of the clip? Could be used as a hands-free lamp on just about anything and any light! If it was done with a sufficiently low profile , I'd certainly buy a few of those!

I think flashlight clips need to take lessons from knife manufacturers. All top notch production knife companies seem to have the pocket clip down pretty well. Perhaps you should have a look at those? Jetbeam got the clip right on the jet III m. It's a nice easy clip to use and if you flip it around for bezel up carry it's even more secure, yet harder to clip. Very nice design....

+1 on padding.

Should be adjustable by screwdriver (flat prefered over others) and have some way of not loosening on its own.

A very similar idea was put forward in another thread 4 years ago.
